| | ETHNIC CLEANSING AS AN INSTRUMENT OF NATION-STATE CREATION: |
 | | Yet, although explicit prohibitions of ethnic cleansing did not exist nor were likely to be stipulated in 1907, deportations in general were already prohibited under the Lieber Code (1863) - which influenced the Hague Conventions and the development of its provisions into customary international law. | | | Broadly speaking, international law relevant to ethnic cleansing may be found in four areas - humanitarian law, crimes against humanity, human rights texts and emerging law and standards. | | | Nevertheless, the intent of these international law provisions was certainly to limit the incidence of ethnic cleansing and other types of forced population transfer. |

| | Ethnic cleansing is designated a crime against humanity in international treaties, such as that which created the International Criminal Court (ICC). | | | The displacement is usually forcible, though there are examples of voluntary or compensated ethnic cleansing. | | | Each individual element of a programme of ethnic cleansing could be considered as an individual violation of humanitarian law - a killing here, a house-burning there - thus missing the systematic way in which such violations were perpetrated with a single aim in mind. |
